UNION OF INTERESTS.
Judge Riley to LeaVe Perry.
We very much regret that Judge
A. C. Riley has arranged to move
with his family from Perry to
Fort Valley. He has purchased a
dwelling house and lot in that
city on the corner of Church and
Miller streets, near Grady Insti
tute.
Judge Riley’s term as judge of
the County court, will expire on
the 15th of this month, and as
soon thereafter as his arrange
ments can be completed he will
move to Fort Valley.
We regret that Judge Riley has
seen fit to make this change, but
there is some degree of pleasure
in the fact that he and his family
will continue to be neighbors,
comparatively,and citizens of the
same county.
As judge, citizen, churchman,
and neighbor, Judge Riley has
been true to every duty and trust.
Mrs. Riley has been equally es
timable in all social and church
relations, and the others of the
family are deservedly popular
with their school-mates and asso
ciates.
Our best wishes will be with
them continually.
FOR THE
—Rev. J. W Simmons will serve
the Perry Methodist charge next
year. During the last- two years
he served the South Macon church,
and some time ago was at Hawk-
insville two years. He is past
middle age, an earnest and faith
ful Christian, a good preacher.
He will be cordially welcomed to
Perry. Rev B. E. Whittifigton
will serve the Byron charge next
year. He will carry with him
the highest esteem and best wish
es of our people, regardless of de
nominational affiliation.
—The Byron School district
will soon be incorporated, the bill
giving that authority having pas
sed both branches oi the Georgia
Legislature. The school will be
managed and supported much the
same as are the schools at Fort
Valley and Perry.
